It’s all to play for in Abu Dhabi tonight as Sri Lanka and Afghanistan square off in the final Group B fixture of the Asia Cup. With Hong Kong already eliminated and Bangladesh anxiously waiting, this encounter is a virtual knockout for three Group B teams.
Sri Lanka, unbeaten so far with two wins, are in pole position but still need to avoid a heavy defeat to ensure qualification. Afghanistan, on the other hand, must win to stay alive. A narrow win could still bring net run rate calculations into play, potentially knocking Bangladesh out. For the Afghans, it is about keeping their Super Four hopes intact after an inconsistent run so far. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, would want to maintain their unbeaten streak and head into the next round with momentum.
